Rubber Energized Seal 400 Series

Designed for reciprocating and static sealing applications.

Rubber Energized Seal

The Rubber Energized Seal (400 Series) consists of polymer cap seal assemblies energized by O-rings, Square-rings, Quad-rings, and custom rubber energizers. These seals generate spring load through rubber compression, similar to metallic helical and inclined coil springs.
